Conchillas
Uruguay
Founded as an English colony in southwestern Uruguay, Conchillas is a pocket-sized hamlet in the Colonia Department that retains its original colonial architecture. The surrounding area takes in the nearby beach at Puerto de Conchillas, and the wider Río de la Plata region holds UNESCO World Heritage sites. The town's English-built streetscape sets it apart from the Spanish colonial towns more typical of the region.
